After alot of thought, I have decided to part company with my 51 Jeepster. I've owned this car for several years and have had my fun with it. It's now time to pass it along to someone else.
I bought it and an early 48 from a fellow in West Virginia who had both in storage since 1960. I've done the following to this one: new brakes (lines, hoses, wheel and master cylinders, hardware, etc), new gasket set in the engine, new water and fuel pumps, new fuel and oil lines, new carburetor, new voltage regulator and battery. I also installed 4 brand new Firestone 6.70x15 tires ($700 alone) and well as an NOS spare tire. I've also replaced some chrome and located other that was missing. Brand new gas tank and sun visors just installed.
The Jeepster runs and drives but needs minor tinkering here and there..but is roadworthy as is.
It needs some bodywork as the floors were patched. It also needs some interior work. The top is worn and the rear seat upper cushion is missing. I know a fellow in eastern PA who can supply the seat. I have rear side curtains but no front curtains.
This is a good, driver quality Jeepster that can be enjoyed as-is with just a little elbow grease. I have the title.
I am asking $4500 for the Jeepster and am fairly firm at that price. Find one this nice on ebay and you'll pay more. I'm offering it here first and then it'll go to ebay in the spring if not sold. (Pics show the spare as missing, I have a complete unit, I also have front bumper guard assembly, included with car).
